Young Artist Course (Ages 13-16)
This course is designed especially for young artists who are ready to take their creativity to the next level. Whether they’re about to start GCSE Art or are already deep into their coursework, this class helps build confidence, skill, and a sense of artistic direction, without losing the fun and freedom that makes art great.
Each session follows the same theme and project focus as our Young Creatives course, but with a more advanced twist. We dive deeper into techniques, explore how to develop personal responses, and support students in branching off into their own individual projects. It’s all about learning together, then experimenting with independence.
Perfect for:
-
Year 9 students preparing for GCSE Art
-
Year 10-11 students looking to strengthen skills and ideas
-
Young artists who want more challenge, feedback, and structure
Students will learn how to:
-
Build and refine core skills through drawing, painting, mark making & collage
-
Think critically and creatively about their own work
-
Develop sketchbook pages with intention and originality
-
Build confidence in talking about and evaluating art
It’s a supportive, relaxed space with room to experiment, make mistakes, ask questions, and really grow as a young artist. Every student is encouraged to explore their own style while still learning valuable foundations that feed into schoolwork and beyond.
